I'm with Chip & Dave on this. I had a cap that didn't seal quite right and
even with the cap in place, I'd end up with oil all over the engine
compartment after just a short drive. After 75 miles I'd have been swimming
in it.

I'll second Dave's opinion. If the rocker assembly is getting as much oil
as it's supposed to, after a 75 mile drive with the filler cap off you
would have a LOT of oil all over the engine compartment.
